In Reply to: Physical media will be obsolete in another decade posted by junk2sa@yahoo.com on October 6, 2004 at 08:18:51:
but I doubt "obsolete" from an operational standpoint. Part of it, as jpdaniel suggests in his post below, stems from what appears a natural propensity to own things we can touch, even pick up. You won't erase that in a decade.There's also the question of how quickly a society already coping with the rapidity of technological innovation can adjust to an even newer means of music delivery. Keep in mind that while, theoretically at least, the younger generation catches on more quickly, we have an increasingly aging population, some substantial segments of which still have problems with programming the VCR's they haven't yet upgraded to DVD players or fathoming why they've lost their audio when their "multichannel" option button is pressed in on an AV receiver connected to a stereo-only system (I had to resolve this problem for a former jet fighter pilot just two months ago).
(And where in hell are all those auto-airplanes and two-Hiller Hornets-per-family that Popular Science promised back in the '50's would dominate our personal transportation universe?)
